Platinum Equity Small Cap

Large Cap Resources. Small Cap Focus. $1.5 Billion Fund.

Platinum Equity's resources and access to capital have grown over more than 20 years, but the firm’s focus on investing in the lower middle market has never wavered.

A New Fund with a Proven Approach

In June of 2018 the firm cemented its commitment to the lower middle market and closed Platinum Equity Small Cap Fund with $1.5 billion in capital commitments. Platinum Equity Small Cap will focus exclusively on the lower middle market, complementing the firm’s flagship $6.5 billion Platinum Equity Capital Partners IV, which is focused on larger transactions.

With the Small Cap Fund, dedicated M&A professionals in North America and Europe, the Platinum Equity operations teams, and the firm’s 20+ year track record of transacting in the space, the Small Cap team at Platinum Equity is able to deliver value and creative transaction solutions few others can.

Resources and Access to Capital

The Small Cap team is comprised of experienced M&A professionals based in Los Angeles and London. They bring deep transaction experience from a myriad of industries, transaction types and deal sizes. In addition to M&A team members, there are dedicated Small Cap operations leads focused on supporting the investments through the entire process.

Access to these operations resources and this depth of experience is uncommon in the lower middle market, and gives Platinum Equity Small Cap the unique ability to transact with speed and certainty.
